I did my usual 5 mile run this morning.  Felt good doing it. It took about 50 minutes.  I am happy with that.

Today I ran with my dad, his friend and one of my friends.  I haven't done much running with other people and that was fun.

My usual 5 mile run today.  I enjoy it and will continue.

My shin has been hurting a little so I think I will try running every other day instead of every day and see how that works for me.

Once again I ran my usual 5 mile run.  I am not sure how slow or fast, but I felt good while I ran and that is important.  The leg didn't bother me at all, so I feel I made the right decision on every other day, which I will do most weeks but maybe not all.

So much for running every other day.  That is funny, but I had to take advantage of having a baby sitter this morning and so I ran again.

I combined my usual tougher 3 miler with my usual easy 5 mile and had another good run.  I am ready for the 5k I signed up for next weekend.  Haven't up my pace any, in fact it took me an hour and a half to run this morning, but I am not running for speed, but for fun.

I dpn't change my route very often so I went my usual 5K today.  Once again, I took advantage of having a babysitter.

It was so good to run today, it has been to long and I hope to never go that long without running again.  (Hopefully, anyway).  It wasn't to cold which always helps make it a better run.

I ran this slower than last year, but I am bigger so that is fine.  Next year I hope to run the 1/2 and that will be good.  I felt good and will get more miles logged next week.

I got new shoes and LOVE them.  I was running in trail shoes before, they are good shoes but I absolutely love the new asics.  

It felt way good to run a longer run today.

Once again I took advantage of having a babysitter and got to run.  Just the normal 5 miler.  I don't get to much variety in my running, but I still love it so I am happy with that.

Same 5 as usual.  I am loving my new shoes and need to remember to switch off with my old ones so that they will last longer, but I have struggled with that so far.  I hope to up my miles next week.  We will see what happens with that.  I would love to be ready for the Hurricane 1/2.

Today I ran the same 8 mile route as the first time I ran 8.  That was fun.  My leg felt ok as I ran, but now that it is later it is starting to hurt again.  As I was running I looked down at my feet and noticed that my right foot does land weird and I am sure that has something to do with the pain.  We will see.  I would love to break the 8 mile barrier I am on and go for at least 10 next week but I don't want to do permanent damage to my leg.

Again I ran 8 and I was happy to notice, my leg didn't hurt after the first few steps.  Now that it is later in the day, it still isn't hurting so hopefully it will get better.   I am happy with my progress so far and will break my 8 mile barrier soon.

My leg wasn't hurting so I ran, and felt good the whole way.  I want to run faster and hopefully when I shed a few pounds I will.  I figure at least I am running and  that counts for something. I did my usual run again, a loop around my neighborhood and then out to the LaVerkin stake center and back.  I got my Garmin back so now I can switch up my running a little bit and know how far I am going.  I am looking forward to using it again and will sometime this week.
